About the workshop
Most modern applications consist of a frontend web or mobile application, backed by several API-based services. This paradigm shift from server-side page generation causes a significant impact on various security aspects. To build secure applications, developers need to be aware of these security changes, along with current best practices.
This one-day workshop offers a unique in-depth perspective on modern API security.
